Perhaps you could critique some the rosy journal articles about medical devices for which FDA has incredibly low standards for approval, which devices later had to be withdrawn from the market, and from many patients' bodies as well. Or for those who haven't yet seen Dopesick, the amazing documentary on the Sackler family's role in fueling the opioid crisis, the spin that Perdue Pharma put on a short letter in a medical journal and its relentless campaigns for pushing it out to physicians and patients. Churnalism is nothing compared to Devicenalism or Pharmaspinalism.
Substack is a large place. If you wish to read on different medical topics, im sure you can search and find. I think this newsletter is designed for a curious layperson ( such as myself) and broader topics as it relates to medicine/health. I for one am thoroughly enjoying and learning ( ie the sins of churnalism) as well as the varied essays ( ie CifuтАЩs personal essays).
